UPDATED FORECAST - 9-14

Small northwest swell is showing today - 2-3ft at 13 seconds from 290. This is from that system that was spinning in the Gulf over the weekend and as we started the week. Small south in the water as well - deepwater running 2ft. Look for the south swell to stick around through the week. Current northwest swell will slowly fade out tomorrow with some left overs on Friday. Attention turns to our weekend northwest swell when a longer period WNW 290-310 builds in Saturday (along with rising windswell). This will be good for well overhead surf Saturday and Sunday points north, and good northwest facing spots around the Bay Area will get it on that action as well. That swell will stick around until Monday. Winds were pretty nice today as we had a bit of an offshore/southeast wind most of the day - sea breeze picked up late. Winds look light Thursday as well, at least for the morning - then an uptick in northwest winds for Friday thru Sunday - at least over the outer waters. As I've indicated, nearshore winds might not be bad - so check it each morning. Finally there is some steep tropical/southeast swell from Orlene in the water which will only show at the most exposed south facing breaks tomorrow into Friday - but probably hard to notice with the more dominant south swell around. Looking and feeling like Fall. Cya in the water.
